Good afternoon all

Well, things have certainly slowed a little this week, it seems a patch of thick, foggy cloud has descended onto the course and has made life very tough for those of you who have been out playing, the course is playing as long as it possibly could at the moment, ideal for those of you who need to practice long irons and fairway woods!

Once again, no competition results to report, the weather even scared the ladies off this week, so it must have been bad!!

Allan and I are still keen, no matter what the weather, last Sunday we played Phillip Littlewood and John Barnes. In thick fog, when we started, visibility was down to about 150 yards, which made things very interesting!

John and Phillip seemed to prefer these conditions and got himself off to a very confident start - they were soon 1up, the fog then lifted on the 8th and we recovered the deficit by the turn and then snuck ahead on 11, we halved 12 through to 16 and then a 4 at 17 was good enough to seal victory.

A good game, and even better company, thanks gents.

December Stableford - Sunday (times still available, see BRS to book)

Quiz Night & Christmas Draw - Saturday 6th December; there are a few teams still available, it's open to both members and non members, so get your names down quick if you would like to enter. The Christmas draw will also take place on Saturday, some great prizes to be won, tickets are available from behind the bar or from members of the social committee.

Texas Scramble shotgun team event - Monday 29th December; the response to this has been terrific, 22 teams have entered already, only 3 more places available, open to both men and ladies, 7&5 day members, £5 per person, a great way to walk of the Christmas dinner!

The kitchen will also be open that morning serving bacon baguettes, from 7.45am.

That's all from me this week, don't forget we are open everyday up until Christmas for any of those last minute Christmas gifts, shop and lesson vouchers are also available, so please pop in, we are here to help.
